Subject: Cheesy, but classic
Okay, so the writing is a little bit cheesy. The plots are ridiculously formulaic. The recordings aren't terribly good, bad enough that it can be hard to understand what everyone is saying. But it's Bogart and Bacall, and they really sell even the campiest lines. Every one of their interactions sizzle with wit and sexual tension.

It's not Escape, or even Dangerous Assignment, but it's worth a listen.

Subject: Bold Venture..a pretty good show
I'm old enough to remember this show when I was 7 or 8. I thought it was really good as a kid. As an adult, I find it just a bit corny. The great thing is the Bacall and Bogart. They could make nearly any program great. I would not rate it 5 stars. The highest rating would be reserved for The Black Museum, Twilight Zone, or Gunsmoke

This has to be my absolute favourite series. It is a pity though that only a small number have survived.

Whilst Bacall is supposed to be Bogie's ward, if you listen carefully to the dialogue, there is enough inuendo, half said sentences and electricity that it is a wonder that some of the content of the scripts actually passed censorship at that time.

I recall reading a very long spiel about Casablanca, the movie, and it was fact that the American Broadcasting Association had to step in a number of times to amend the script as it was considered unsuitable.

It certainly does not rate up with "Escape" and the like, but if your preference is for light hearted and somewhat predictable endings then give this one a go.

Again it is a real pity that more episodes are not available.
